The menu was as elite as the guest list at Wimbledon's Champions' Dinner this year, with tennis royalty gathered in black tie at Raffles London at The OWO - a luxury hotel and event space in Whitehall, central London.

The evening marked a glittering finale to a fortnight of tennis in SW19, where Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek were triumphant in the men's and women's singles events respectively.

The gala is hosted by the All England Club to honour the tournament's champions alongside dignitaries and sponsors.

It is tradition for Wimbledon champions to pose with their trophies during the dinner, with the men's and women's singles winners often sharing a dance as a highlight of the evening.

Sinner and Swiatek obliged on Sunday night, stepping on the stage for a brief, 20‑second dance to 'Feel It Still' by Portugal. The Man.

But before the dancing began, guests were treated to a decadent three-course meal.

To start, diners enjoyed an Orkney scallop, paired with a pumpkin risotto, shavings of 24-month aged Parmesan, and a drizzle of rosemary chicken jus.

The main course featured slow-cooked Hereford beef fillet, accompanied by potato dauphinoise, carrots, braised short rib, and a helping of red wine jus.

For dessert, a summery Eton mess arrived with blackberries, passionfruit, and a touch of Bermondsey bees honey.

The meal was paired with a thoughtful wine selection, including a La Rose Creation, a 2022 French Chablis, and a 2023 Chianti from Italy.

Swiatek won the women's tournament in just 57 minutes, double-bageling American Amanda Anisimova in emphatic fashion on Saturday, to become the first Polish singles champion.

Then on Sunday, Sinner took on double defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the second installment of a growing rivalry at the top of men's tennis, avenging his defeat from the French Open just over a month ago.

Both stars were dressed for the occasion - Swiatek wore a glamourous lilac gown by Stella McCartney worth more than $2,000 (£1494).

And Sinner, who is an ambassador for Italian fashion house Gucci, sported a custom dark suit and tie with a pair of the brand's signature loafers.
